How do you keep/organize all their work? I noticed you mentioned a fiar notebook? I saw a memory verse binder in one of the pics i think. What different types of notebooks/systems can I implement with my three kids? Thank you much !!!
Hi Justine! After completing one lapbook with a file folder, I quickly pivoted and realized that a spiral bound notebook was the best way to go! I give every child their own lined notebook. They loved seeing just their personal work inside. As the kids grew, my daughter launched out on her own studies while I worked with the boys. Having their own personal notebook made it much easier to keep track of their work. The kids usually use the same notebook, with multiple book studies, until it’s filled up completely. I always use the first “lined” page for their “cover art” – an artistic representation of whatever book we’re studying – a nod to the artist, mostly FIAR rows. After that, we cut and paste Bible verses, lapbook inserts, worksheets or other associated activities inside. The kids also write answers to study prompts inside. Once we’re done with the book, we turn the page and continue the process with the next book. I really like to keep EVERYTHING associated with the book in one notebook. Now FIAR chapter books suggest having Science notebooks, so we started an Ocean and Prairie notebook while studying “Sarah, Plain and Tall”. We also started an art sketch book with thicker white pages for charcoal drawings, blending, etc. I hope this answer gives you a better idea of how we organize our work.
